From Amazon:

“The monster isn’t beneath the bed. It is in the mirror swallowing at all the vile things it wants to say, choking on bile to make them go away.”

Wayward priest Cris Corelli rids himself of the sacred collar and leaves town, boarding the midnight train with no destination in mind. Satan is following him – lurking in the shadows. Corelli finds himself at an unassuming boarding house run by beautiful, yet tortured, Jules. She has her own secrets. They are the kind that echo in the mind, despite the screams that are meant to drown them. On Thanksgiving Day, 1985, Cris and Jules are bonded by a senseless act of violence that brings the small town to its knees. They indulge in drugs and alcohol to numb the pain, and together, they teeter on the edge of darkness. What they don’t yet know, is that Satan still lurks.

My Review:

This is a deep dark story similiar to books in the past of a priest trying to rid the world of darkness, in a house, or elsewhere. This type of dark story is NOT my normal read. That said, this is a deep and very dark tale of a priest who rips his white collar off his neck and tosses it into churning dark water until the collar becomes the color of the dark water. He ends up at a boarding inn, and the story evolves from there. If this is your genre, then this book is for you. The action does not stop and the ending was unexpected. Five stars.
